arte-and-auraeXpansys have let me know that they have two luxury phones that you might want to purchase available – and for the sheer cash-money newsworthiness, I thought I should share:

The luxurious Motorola Aura combines superb craftsmanship and a distinctive interface inspired by luxury watches. The Motorola Aura features the world’s first 16 million colour circular phone display with a resolution of 300dpi, that is protected by a Grade 1 62-carat sapphire crystal (one of the most scratch-resistant materials on the planet). The custom-engineered rotating mechanism has 130 precision ball bearings that drive the assisted-opening blade – like opening the door on a high-end luxury car.

The Nokia 8800 Arte Gold is the latest offering in the desirable Arte range, combining the finest natural minerals with state-of-the-art precision engineering. Featuring 18-carat gold plating and premium quality leather padding, the Nokia 8800 Arte Gold also has a 2-inch OLED screen with 16 million colours and is protected by scratch resistant mineral glass. The unique open and closing mechanism features a bi-stable spring and stainless steel ball bearing system, similar to those used in high-performance cars.

For me personally, I wasn’t so much a fan of the Arte, so it would be the Aura – if I could afford it. Just think, if you bought both of these, you’d be well on the way to spending £3K!

About The Author

Ben Robinson

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
